The magazine's selection dates from 1927, when its editors have picked the person they say most shaped headlines over the previous 12 months.

NEW YORK CITY, New York — Time magazine has named a collective rather than a person as its 2025 Person of the Year, selecting what it calls the “Architects of AI,” a group of innovators in artificial intelligence credited with reshaping global technology and society over the past 12 months.

The magazine concludes 2025 was "the year when artificial intelligence's full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back."
